I am a Clinical Psychologist and Board Approved Supervisor. I like to describe myself as an enthusiastic, compassionate and warm therapist. My values are empowerment, self-advocacy, and authenticity.

Hi, I’m Aimee, your friendly neighbourhood Clinical Psychologist. I have a Bachelor of Psychology with Honours and a PhD in Clinical Psychology, with additional training in attachment-focused dynamic psychotherapy and relational psychodynamic therapy (the good stuff that gets to the heart of things and breaks you down before rebuilding you). I’m a Cancer but according to my patients I give “big Leo energy” so do with that what you will!

I work primarily in eating disorders and women’s mental health, and I’m passionate about supporting women through all stages of life, whether you’re navigating recovery, motherhood, fertility issues, pregnancy, identity, burnout, or just trying to hold it all together.

Right now, I’m in the same boat with a young baby, just trying to survive on very little sleep and a romantasy book always within reach (if I can keep my eyes open long enough to read it). I believe therapy should feel like a safe, human space where we can explore the messy, meaningful parts of life, with warmth, honesty, and a lot of dark humour.

If you’re looking for support that’s evidence-based, attachment-focused, and deeply human, I’d love to connect.

Areas of Interest:

Attachment-focused therapy

  • Women’s health, including PCOS, endometriosis, adenomyosis, fertility difficulties

  • Antenatal support

  • Perinatal support

  • Mood disorders

  • Eating disorders

  • Perfectionism

  • Affect State Therapy

  • Relational Psychodynamic Therapy

Aimee works on Thursdays and is accepting new client referrals.

Hi, I’m Tenneile. I’m a Registered Psychologist with more than a decade of experience supporting women through trauma, health challenges, workplace stress, and the complex transitions that shape our lives. My area of focus is working with women navigating injury or illness, WorkCover and return-to work pathways, first responders, professional women, working mothers, and women experiencing midlife and perimenopausal changes. I support those impacted by stress, burnout, mood changes, anxiety, and the emotional load alongside challenges such as bullying, conflict, or recovery from illness or injury.

My therapeutic approach blends evidence-based therapies (ACT, CBT, and trauma-informed care), and positive psychology models (strengths based, solution focussed, mindset coach) to offer a warm, human-first connection with practical take home strategies you can apply outside the therapy hour. Clients often describe me as grounding, easy to talk to, and deeply supportive, particularly when life or work has left them overwhelmed, unseen, or “emotionally concussed.”

My passion comes from lived experience too — returning to full-time work after having two boys, stepping into a demanding emergency-services role, supporting my husband after a workplace spinal injury, caring for ageing parents from afar, and doing my best to raise good, kind humans — have deepened my empathy and strengthened my commitment to helping women through life’s vulnerable, messy, and transformative chapters.

I’m also thrilled to be back home in Queensland (and proud to have won State of Origin in a household divided by my NSW-born husband!). My family is my world, and they remind me daily why supporting women matters.

In therapy, there’s no judgement—just honest conversations, practical help, and space to breathe. If you’re seeking clarity, calm, or steadiness, I’d be honoured to walk beside you.

Areas of Interest:

  • Women navigating illness, injury, medical trauma, and recovery

  • WorkCover and return-to-work clients

  • Professional women & working mothers

  • Navigating life transitions (relationships, identity, guilt, sacrifice, self-esteem)

  • Midlife and perimenopausal mental health (mood changes, anxiety, sleep difficulties, stress and burnout)

  • First responders and emergency services personnel

  • Workplace issues including bullying, harassment, conflict & burnout

  • Stress management and emotional regulation

  • Performance psychology

Hi, I'm Madeleine, a generally registered Psychologist with previous experience working with young children, teenagers and families. My qualifications include a Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) and a Masters of Professional Psychology. I have experience working with a number of neurodivergent youth and adults, and have a particular passion for supporting neurodivergent young women, teens and girls. I strive to help all of my clients to develop a richer and deeper understanding of who they are, what they value and how to live the lives they aspire towards.

When I'm not on the netball court or dancing in my kitchen to Taylor Swift, I'm working with my clients to help them identify patterns of behaviour that are leaving them burnt out and disconnected. I take a client-centred approach and apply evidence-based intervention (CBT, ACT, and Attachment theory) to guide my clients to build skills, process their experiences and become confident navigators of their own lives. I strive to bring curiosity and compassion while helping my clients meaningfully progress towards their goals. 

 I am passionate about helping my clients find confidence, clarity and calm.

Areas of Interest:

  • Exploring Neurodivergence (recent diagnosis, unmasking, understanding unique needs and accommodations)

  • Anxiety (Social anxiety, General anxiety, separation anxiety, panic attacks, phobias)

  • Mood disorders

  • Transition periods (entering womanhood or adulthood, becoming a parent, entering or leaving the workforce)

  • Trauma

  • Stress management and emotion regulation

  • Family relationships (exploring previous dynamics, establishing boundaries and identifying patterns in relationships)

  • Identity exploration (gender, sexuality, religious deconstruction)

Madeleine works on Tuesdays and Wednesday and is booking new clients from 12th January 2026.
